The Thief and Mulla

Written story
Mulla went to the mosque to take a nap on a hot summer day. He took off his shoes, placed them under his head as a pillow, and fell asleep. While he was out, a thief swiped them. When Mulla woke up and realized what happened, he hatched a plan to catch the guy. He took off his outer clothes, folded them up, put them under his head, and pretended to sleep, planning to grab the thief's wrist when he reached for them. Unfortunately, he was so comfortable that he fell into a deep sleep. When he finally woke up, his clothes were gone too.
